What’s up Planet Ill fam, Happy Labor Day Weekend (well, here in the States anyway…)!
It’s time once again for the latest Indiesent Exposure installment, Planet Ill’s weekly music column where I drop some FREE music downloads & info about quality independent music artists of different genres who deserve serious credit for keeping things lively & original in the music world.
Indiesent Exposure is designed to give your ears some respite from some of the daily audio wackness that bombards the masses through the mainstream radio’s definitions of Hip-Hop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Rock, Reggae, House, World Music, etc.
If you like what you hear & download, PLEASE support (monetarily and otherwise) these artists as much as you can in the future – hit up their websites, purchase some product, go to their shows, etc.
This week’s Indiesent Exposure music selections are set to jump off your weekend audio journey proper with some fantastic Hip-Hop, Rock, Electronica, Afro-Punk and Soul Music grooves.
Whenever you have the chance, please let all of the talented Indiesent Exposure artists and the Planet Ill crew know what you think of the music in our comments section!
Let’s get it in – download, sit back, relax & hope you enjoy the grooves:
Before it became hip in the mainstream, Bronx, New York’s Geechi Suede from latter day Hip-Hop classic crew Camp Lo and producer/drummer Apple Juice Kid formed up the collaborative project FreeBass 808 a few years ago to step out of the traditional rap music convention on the airwaves by meshing the genre with of Dance, Electro, House and Drum & Bass Music.
Through various single, EP and mixtape releases, the duo has shown that they’re an actual “Best of Both Worlds” combination and not a cliche of the tired “look what we can do” mashup projects that have been all over the place lately.
FreeBass 808’s latest project is the 7th Galaxy/Psychic Energy project is definitely music ready for both the dancefloor and lyric lovers. Mixed & hosted by DJs Mick Boogie and Mighty Mi, Geechi Suede energetically and deftly flows over Apple Juice Kid’s lushly eclectic production on everything from love to partying to what’s real friendship.
Fans of the artists’ solo work, as well as listeners tired of the same old Hip-Hop experiments should really dig what FreeBass808 is bringing to the table – wrap up that last BBQ of the summer with this soundtrack and rock to it during all seasons.

The Washington, DC based group DeVille presents the full-throated Soul Music vocal delivery of lead singer GiGi Gordon over driving Punk Rock guitar, bass and drums (not Hot Topic Emo Punk mentality, but Sex Pistols work) from fellow members Ian Graham, Patches Mitchell & Trevor Thrift. The blatant Afro-Punk and Pop Music sensibilities of the crew work out well and are on display on their high-tempo 2 song sampler. “Screaming” has almost a Hair Metal meets Surf Rock vibe while “Cheated” would make a perfect compliment to Cee-Lo’s “F** You” with the pissed off vibe of relationships gone wrong.
DeVille is a tight unit that meshes all of their sensibilities masterfully, keeping a solid groove with their songs an audience can easily dance and/or mosh to along catchy hooks that stick in your head long after the songs are over.
According to their blog, an full length album is on the way so hopefully the masses will get some more fly sounds from the crew soon.
Get more information about DeVille’s upcoming full-length music project, touring and other good things over at their official site, http://Blog.Devillerock.com.
